Arborist gear retailers by country: shops that sell climbing and rigging gear

This page records what each shop says about itself on its own website, read on October 9, 2026. It says nothing about how any shop performs, and it does not rank shops, recommend one over another or endorse any of them. The list is incomplete: only shops whose own pages were opened and read are included.

A retailer can ask to be added or corrected by writing to the address at the foot of this page. Each entry gives the shop's own words on what it sells, where it is based, and whether its pages list rope splicing or rope cutting as a service. Prices, discount codes and affiliate links are left out on purpose, and every link goes to the shop's plain address.

The related guides cover inspection, used gear and recalls. Where a shop's base reads "not stated", the pages that were read gave no address.

What the list leaves out

CSP Distribution of Osborne Park, Western Australia, is not listed because its own about page says it supplies dealers nationwide. Shops whose pages did not open, or gave no readable description of what they sell, are also left out. A shop missing from this page has not been judged in any way.
